<p>When in high school do you recommend starting to study for the SAT? Any tips or tricks to get a high score? I want to try to get a 2100-2300, if even possible a 2400. Anyone who took the SAT, I neeed advice!</p>
<p>As soon as possible. If you’re going for 2300+ you should have started in freshman/sophomore. I would just get a Barron’s book and take a ton of practice tests. There isn’t really a panacea to all of your problems; just practice and learn the words/rules.</p>
<p>I’m a freshmen now, any tips to start studying?</p>
<p>Get the main Kaplan SAT book to learn the “tricks”, read anything and everything as much as possible to up your reading speed, and make an account on Quizlet to practice your SAT vocabulary. (I accredit quite a bit of my 2400 to Quizlet’s help. I chose to make all my own flashcard sets to avoid errors, but there are many sets available if you don’t want to put in the time.) Take as many timed practice tests as you can. (I liked The Official SAT Study guide [College Board] and McGraw Hill’s 12 SAT Practice Tests.) Start studying asap if you want a 2300+ score. Best of luck!</p>
<p>If you are taking the SAT in junior year, DO NOT start studying now. Please. I do not believe that studying for 1-2 years in advance is a good strategy for the SAT. It’s okay to start reading a bit more since that will help in the long run, but spending that much time on a test is just not worth it when there are much better things to do.</p>
<p>But when you are ready, this might help:</p>

<p>If you’re a freshman, just do the SAT Question of the day.
2 minutes a day you’ll be set until the summer after sophomore year on SAT Prep</p>
<p>I completely agree with Cheerioswithmilk and Weeknd. </p>
<p>The question of the day - everyday - great idea! With that, when you come across a word that you don’t know look it up and make a flashcard. Save all of your flashcards for when you really start to prep.</p>
<p>Read a lot. Editorials and opinion pages contain the best writing out there. I like the NY Times for the 12th grade level of English that is used. </p>
<p>And really work hard in your math courses, so that you won’t find the math section difficult.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Start now ,the more you practice the more you get.It is a test that you can control !</p>
<p>as a freshman you can/should forget the target scores . . . </p>
<p>start your prep for the test by routinely and rigorously doing the SAT question for the day . . . that’ll get you used to the test so you wont; be so stressed :-)</p>
<p>your school will probabaly offer the PSAT as a sophomore . . . might be a good idea to use that test as a touchstone and break open the testing books in preparation for that test</p>
<p>the problem with shooting for “that number” is that so few people get that # that you are setting yourself up for stress and failure (if you don’t make that number)</p>
<p>in 2010 6,925 people in the world got a 2300 or better . . . that 0.4% of test takers</p>
<p>even 2100 is a good score: top 3.6% in the world!!!</p>
